Question

What makes the theremin a unique musical instrument? You play it without touching it. When you place your blank the pitch will shift as your hands move through the air.

Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

Accepted Answer

Choice B is the best answer. The convention being tested is the use of plural nouns in a sentence. The plural noun "hands" and the plural noun "antennas" correctly indie that two hands are placed between two antennas when playing the theremin. Choice A is incorrect because the context requires the plural nouns "hands" and "antennas," not the singular possessive nouns "hand&rsquo;s" and "antenna&rsquo;s." Choice C is incorrect because the context requires the plural nouns "hands" and "antennas," not the plural possessive nouns "hands&rsquo;" and "antennas&rsquo;." Choice D is incorrect because the context requires the plural noun "hands," not the plural possessive noun "hands&rsquo;."
